Celebrating 5 Years - Kelly Kent Highlight!

Welcome to a very special blog hop! Today I'm joining 20+ global demonstrators in celebration of Kelly Kent's 5th anniversary with Stampin' Up! If you don't have Kelly's blog saved as a favorite, you're missing out on some amazing creations! We've been on a design team together before and I hope to see her name on the ADT someday! She's a gal I've followed and admired for awhile now and I'm so honored to be a part of her "party"!

If you came from Nicole Goding's blog - thanks for continuing on to me! Make sure you make your way around the entire hop and leave some love for Kelly!

For the celebration, I thought I'd share a special card I made for my niece Hannah. Tomorrow is her 16th birthday and I couldn't just give her any ol' card I had made already. This needed to be fun and special! It's also to get you in the mood for Thursday's Artisan Design Team blog hop where we will be highlighting this framelit and coordinating stamp set (Happy Birthday Gorgeous).

I first started by making a card base with some of the new (and very lovely) Foil Frenzy Specialty DSP. I cut a large circle out using the Layering Circles Framelits and added some Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate. Then I sponged some white cardstock with Island Indigo to help the acetate and thinlit stand out.

The new Happy Birthday Thinlit was attached using the new Big Shot Adhesive Sheets that will be available June 1st. These sheets are a perfect adhesive when you don't feel like getting Fine Tip Glue everywhere :)

I added some new ribbons too - Mini Sequin Trim and some Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon. Some Island Indigo Enamel Shapes and the "sixteeth" from Milestone Moments and the front is complete!

For the inside, I continued the sponged look, the foil DSP, Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and a few of the mini sequins. The "make a wish" is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

I hope that you like this card! I was fun to make this special for my niece - hard to believe she's so grown up. Here we are 12 years ago... Sitting in my driveway for a picture... don't worry - we didn't go anywhere!

I hope you all have a fantastic time hopping around the globe in celebration of the lovely Kelly Kent!! Next up is the talented Claudia Ausborn from Germany!

That foil Kraft paper is so amazing in ral life so I cn imagine this is super sparkly and perfect for 16. I love how you have the 3 tones on the sentiment inside- is that just done with 3 markers? - and Yes I think we'll se Miss Kelly on the ADT one day soon!

Thank you for the sweet words Holly. When I grow up, I want to be just like you! Your creations, including this gorgeous one and sublime!!! And your niece is the cutest! It won't be long and she'll be driving that car for real! Thank you for being part of my stamping world - I am blessed to include you as a friend! Kelly x
